sg_zone − send SCSI OPEN, CLOSE or FINISH ZONE command
sg_zone [−−all] [−−close] [−−finish] [−−help] [−−open] [−−verbose] [−−version] [−−zone=ID] DEVICE
Sends a SCSI OPEN ZONE, CLOSE ZONE or FINISH ZONE command to the DEVICE. These commands are found in the ZBC draft standard revision 4c (zbc−r04c.pdf).
One and only one of the −−open, −−close and −−finish options can be chosen.
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
−a, −−all
sets the ALL field in the cdb.
−c, −−close
causes the CLOSE ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.
−f, −−finish
causes the FINISH ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.
−h, −−help
output the usage message then exit.
−o, −−open
causes the OPEN ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.
−v, −−verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
−V, −−version
print the version string and then exit.
−z, −−zone=ID
where ID is placed in the cdb’s ZONE ID field. A zone id is a zone start logical block address (LBA). The default value is 0. ID is assumed to be in decimal unless prefixed with ’0x’ or has a trailing ’h’ which indicate hexadecimal.
The exit status of sg_zone is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
